What You Need to Know About Caralluma Fimbriata
Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. It’s a new arrival in the family of cactii and succulent plants that are becoming increasingly popular for their appetite suppressant, and weight loss properties, as well as their ability to lower blood sugar.
Supplements made from the popular hoodia gordonii cactus from the Kalahari Desert in Africa, are, for example, growing in popularity and usage in the U.S. and Europe.
Like hoodia, caralluma fimbriata has been used to suppress appetite, and as a portable food for hunting. It is used to suppress hunger and appetite, and enhance endurance throughout India. It is also sometimes considered a “famine food,” used during periods of famine to suppress appetite. For centuries, people in rural areas of India have eaten Caralluma fimbriata, which grows wild over various parts of the country.
Caralluma fimbriata is cooked as a vegetable, used in preserves like chutneys and pickles, or eaten raw. Caralluma fimbriata is believed to block the activity of several enzymes, which then blocks the formation of fat, forcing fat reserves to be burned. Caralluma fimbriata is also believed to have an effect on the appetite control mechanism of the brain.
Ayurvedic (traditional Indian medicine) experts have noted that there are no adverse effects when using Caralluma fimbriata, and the plant has no known toxicity. A patented, tested extract of Caralluma fimbriata has been developed and standardized by a company called Gencor. Known as “Slimaluma,” the extract delivers the plant in a concentrated form. One of the only products available in the U.S. that uses the Slimaluma formula is Country Life’s GenaSlim supplement, which combines the patented Slimaluma extract of Caralluma fimbriata with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) from green tea.
Together they reportedly have a synergistic effect on appetite control and weight loss. In several clinical trials Slimaluma was shown to be effective in reducing body fat through appetite control.

i think natural appetite suppressants are the way to go. anything that would help me not want to eat more than my body needs is great.
Thanks for the info - have stumbled as well! Im a bit unsure about these suppress appetite methods although that being said, they must be better than going on a diet pill.
I don’t need to loose weight, but I’d try this for the experience of tasting it.

i could say also is important increase the level of fiber like green vegetables and antioxidant like blue berries and red wine(resveratrol) to improve the overall health
Here’s a tip for losing weight a lot faster.
Eat 4 to 6 small meals a day. I know it sounds funny but it helps. You can fit 4 to 6 small meals in each day all not going over 1800 calories, this way you metabolism starts working in overdrive and you body burns more weight much faster.
You NEED to stick with it though once you start,
